Hurricanes

It is important to know a bit of insurance history. When Hurricane Andrew hit in 1992 all major national insurance companies sustained catastrophic losses. That prompted a mass exodus from Florida leaving smaller companies to fill the void.

Hurricane Andrew and the devastation that followed encouraged the restructuring of the Florida homeowner’s insurance system and the creation of The Florida Insurance Guaranty Association.

As a result of the restructuring, all Florida domiciled Insurance Companies are backed by the State of Florida.

Here is a link to The Florida Insurance Guaranty Association.

You will find that insurance in Florida is not like other states. Depending on the home, insurance can be a significant part of the budget. Having an experienced agent can make all the difference.

Wind Mitigation

In 2007 the state of Florida developed wind mitigation reports which are utilized for both condominium and single family home structures. This means that a specialist can come to your home to take pictures and document certain building attributes such as:

• Roof Shape
• Age of Roof
• Roof Deck Attachment
• Roof to Wall Attachment
• Opening Protection

The older your home, the larger this will impact your insurance premium. It is extremely important to get one done if you have not done this to date. Please call us if you need help getting this information. We can get someone to you quickly.

Condo Insurance

Condo Insurance is necessary if you purchase a condominium. There is lots of confusion on the topic. Condominium associations and individuals share responsibility or insuring the building. The association insures the structure and the owner insures the interior. As a general rule everything you see would not be insured by the association’s policy. You are insuring from the paint in. The association is the drywall out.

There are many variable to consider. For instance, if your AC unit breaks it’s your responsibility to get it fixed. If it is struck by lightning it is the responsibility of your association.
